Jiangnan 江南 - West of Shanghai, toward Suzhou

This is a traditional thatch fishing hut that used to be common along the canals and streams, but is now a growing rarity. It was generally a summer house used during the fishing season. The bean poles and flag suggest a long-term residence. There are two cement boats and two bikes, indicating that there are either multiple people from the same village using the site or an extended family.
